EN: back-ride passenger
"Angkas" is your human backpack when you're on a two-wheeled vehicle. It's also the name of the ride-hailing app that became a verb: "Mag-Angkas na lang tayo para iwas-traffic!" Having an "angkas" means you're responsible for another life, so you drive extra carefully... unless you're trying to get to the airport in 15 minutes. It's the ultimate trust fall, but at 60 kph.
Can refer to the person riding at the back or the act itself. Now heavily associated with the ride-hailing service "Angkas". The verb is 'umangkas'.
